A FORTUNE In DUE BILLS
THE LATE LEVI BACON'S AC-
COUNTS SOMEWHAT IRREGULAR.

No Evidence to Show that He Appro-
priated Amy OF the Shortage to His
Own Use-The Deficiency Something
Over $29,OOO-Too Accommodating
to His Friends.
WASHINGTON, July IAN examination
of the accounts of the late Levi Bacon,
financial clerk of the Interior Department,
discloses a deficiency of S2S,00O in his cash.
The inquiry is said to have shown that for a
long time prior to his death he had either
nlisappropriatedp public moneys or permitted
loose methods of transacting business in his
office. Upon Mr.. Bacon's decease at the
request OF his bondsmen, Secretary Lamar
appointed a committee to examine and
settle his accounts. The report of the COM
mittee was submitted to the Secretary
few days ago, and it is said to show a def
cheney of more than $2S,00O, of which
10000 is represented by due bills of en-
ployes of the office to whom Mr.. Bacon ad-
vanced money.
UNSETTLED FOR YEARS.
Some Of these due bills run as far back as
1879 1t is believed that a considerable part
of the money represented by these bills can
be recovered, and Secretary Lamar to-day
issued an order directing the disbursing
officers to retain part of the salaries of, en-
ployes whose due bills are held and thus Sc
cure the government against loss as far as
possible. This policy was pursued to-day in
making the monthly payment of salaries.
The remainder of the missing S2S, 900 is
said to be represented by the paper of per
sons outside the department and by a
shortage of 81 500 in the attorney fund of
the patent office"
DUE BILLS TREATED AS CASH.
1t was Mr.. Bacon's duty to deposit every
week in the Bank of the Republic all moneys
held by him, and to submit periodical re-
ports of the funds received. In doing this
it is believed that he credited the due bills
etc as so much cash, and as his accounts,
SO far as known, were never examined by
an accounting officer, the condition of
affairs was not discovered So far as the
investigation has gone it does not prove
Mr.. Bacon was dishonest, or that he appro-
priated money to his own private use,
but indicates rather that he was too ac--
comodating to his friends
